It is too bad that Montreal is landlocked, without a major water feature.


Flour Cinq Roses. Bonjour/Hi.

Hamilton does have some gems, especially the Pigott Building.

The first one is cool. The second one is just so Toronto with the k-rails. 95% finished should be the city's motto

Nice shot. Saskatoon looks bigger than its population would suggest.

Adorable! The river landing project really adds to the skyline. One more signature tower with more height would be a welcomed addition IMO.

Honestly as the CMA closes in on 400,000 in the next few years I agree the skyline needs 1 or 2 more prominent new additions or else we'll be falling behind for a city our size.

Here's a fairly ordinary shot of the Vancouver skyline from the East, yesterday evening. The building with the two cranes is the new St. Paul's hospital.

It has changed but it is kinda subtle…you have to know where.
This picture is at least 10 years old, but I think it was still great to share!

Adisoke, Ottawa's new Central Library, taking root on the Western edge of the CBD.



Bonus shot: Ottawa is joining Calgary in the very exclusive 'Trains Coming Out From Under Central Libraries Club'

Nah. It's not a competition. Some treat it as such, but I don't see it that way.
